Unfortunately, the conversion must be done outside of Remind; there's
no built-in way to do it.

Something like:

perl -ane 'print "REM $F[0] $F[1] AT $F[2] MSG " . join(" ", @F[3..$#F]) . "\n"'

will accept stdin and write out something acceptable to Remind on stdout,
at least for the examples on the web page you cited.
